Had to google to see what you were talking about. Here’s more info for those who like me didn’t know about this: “Gore Vidal, Jew-Hater, RIH: William Buckley Smackdown VIDEO Contrasts w/ Wimps Running Natl Review Today”
HarPOOTlian. With the emphasis on the POOT!
I remember when it happened and was reminded of it when the clip was on the news after Vidal died. I once came close to doing violence to a guy who called me a Nazi, but my girlfriend, whose mother’s family had fled Germany just ahead of the Holocaust, calmed me down.
Threaten to punch him?
Strongly rebuke. Buckley never punched Vidal either, but he more than expressed his offense at being labled a Nazi.
